I invited two of my buddies from work to spend an evening trying out a Warhammer 40K 8th-edition starter set, called First Strike. With an attractive price point ($40 in the US) and a handful of models on each side, it makes entry almost a no-brainer. Take a listen as we chat before and after playing through the missions. This episode is about twice as long as normal, but I think you’ll find it’s a pretty quick listen anyway.

Take a listen as I chat about the Adeptus Mechanicus faction for Warhammer 40K, and my thought process when I created my own forgeworld’s lore and color scheme. Kal’koplos fits neatly in with the existing lore for both my Eagle Eyes space marines and my Freeblade Imperial Knight, the Queen Bee.

A month has gone by and I’ve put some thought into the format of the show, on top of just being really busy in general. A month since our last episode, but somehow I’m still thinking about 8th Edition 40K. I wanted to do another show based on the full reveal of the Dark Imperium boxed set and novel. Take a listen to the new, spiced up and more interactive format of the show. I may make some further changes, but let’s see how these ones go first. If you want to hear the new theme music in the intro, go take a listen to the full file in this post.

There’s a lot of coverage about the ‘new Warhammer 40K’ and I wanted to share how I think about it. I like to think the updates and changes are like a film director and editor, making tweaks that alter the way we see battles unfolding in our mind’s eye.

If you think I’m talking smack, maybe you didn’t play Necromunda back in the day. Take a listen to this shorter-than-usual episode and see why I think it’s the bees knees for casual gamers.

This week, I tackle the three books in the Gathering Storm trilogy. The plot, the models, and a look at what they might mean for the future of 40K.
